with comparable acceleration and speeds to other sports cars

the limiting factor right now is battery capacity

or you know

don't they already do that louis?

no matter the mode of transport?

not exactly

practicality of having massive railine grade cables constructed over every major road in the country

unless its physically impossible to go on the road

and then having to maintain them under far worse conditions than any railway wire ever suffered

i mean i guess there's different levels of risk

and necessary mitigation coming with them

neither snowstorm nor power outtage stops trucks lol

they can get through anything save a downed tree

nor trains

and a downed tree cn be quickly repaired

a downed power line not so much

@Uksio trains get fucked by both snowstorms and power outtages

especially storms

a downed tree can heat one's home for a night or three

frozen tracks are bad news

until the power is fixed

if the home can even burn it

many homes today dont have fireplaces

or wood heating stoves

and the houses that do have fireplaces

Frankly, all its going to do is make germany even more dependent on imported energy from russia.

arent designed around heating the entire house through it

you might heat up the room the fireplace is in

americans said no to nordstream 2

but they arent connected enough to heat the whole hous

we're very hopeful

in fairness if germany wasnt so incompetent in dealing with power plants

An occasional outage or storm is nothing compared to the benefits in savings you get from implementation

they wouldnt have to rely on foreign imports so much

i wonder how long it would take to actually get any savings

A truck on wires would be cheaper than a train or conventional truck

after having to build a massive network of high powered sturdy electric cables to every major road in the entire country

There is a reason it is being tested

Not a problem for Autobahn

thats a single highway
